Norie Grants Little Daughter.

Nellie Grants daughter, little Vivian
Sartoris, is n beautiful child. Playing on
the beach at Long Branch with her maid
the other day, she was a picture Of at
t~ractive childhood, delicate, quicl: and
intclligently American, rather than ro-
bustly English. She is not in the least
like her father, but inlierits her mothers
eyes, brunette complexion and shapely
hands, with a hint of Gen. Grant about
the forehead and rather prominent ears.
Mrs. Sartoris dresses her with great taste,
and the child is an unaffected, happy
creature. A lady with two children a
little younger than Vivian, chubby Great
ures both, passed near the child and said
something to her little people which cyi,
IDENTIFY interested them very much. The
tots looked at each other n minute. then
ran up to Gen. Grants granddaughter
and emptied the treasured stones and
shells they had picked up in their walk
into a dainty straw basket that she car
ried. They trotted away again without
saving a word.-New York Mail and

Polishing Diamonds.

One of the great industries of Amster-
dam is the cutting and polishing of dia-
monds; and nearly all the finest diamonds
in the world are brought here to be cut
into shape. We will make a visit to one
of the principal diamond establishments,
and when we get there / think we shall
be surprised to find a great factory four
or five stories high, a steam engine in the
basement and fly wheels and leathern
bands and all sorts of whirring machinery
in the different stories. On the very top
floor the diamonds are finished and pol
ished, and here we see skillful workmen
sitting before rapidly revolving disks of
steel, against which the diamonds are
pressed and polished.
1t requires great skill, time and pa
thence before one of these valuable gems
is got into that shape in which it will
best shine, sparkle and show its purity.
Nearly half tie diamonds produced in
the world, the best of which come from
Brazil, are sent to this factory to be cut
and polished. Here the great Koh-i-noor
was cut; and we are shown models of
that and other famous diamonds that
were cut in these rooms.-St. Nicholas.

The Arab loves as zone but an Arab
can love; but he is also nightly excita-
BILE and easily o An Arab sees a girl
bearing water II brushwood; and in a
moment, almost at a glance, is as madly
in love as if he had passed years of court
ship. He thinks of nothing else, cares
and dreams of nothing else but the girl
he loves; and not infrequently, if he is
disappointed in his affections, he pines
and dies. In order to commence his suit
he sends for a member of the girls tribe
who has access to the harem; and, first
insuring his secrecy by a solemn oath,
confesses his love and entreats his conf
dant TO arrange al interview.
The confidant goes to the girl, gives
her a flower or a blade of grass, and
says: Swear by Him who made this
flower and us also, that you will not re-
veal to any one that which / am about
to unfold to you" If the girl will not
accept the proposal she will not take the
oath, but nevertheless keeps the matter
perfectly secret from all. If she is favor
ably disposed to the match, she
Il swear by Him who made the flower
you hold, and u.s., and the place and
time of meeting are settled. These oaths
are never broken, and it is not long be-
fore the ardent lover becomes the happy
husband. -Philadelphia Call.

Professor Virchow, at the last meeting
of the Medizinische Gesellschaft, gave an
account of a ''hunger-virtuoso'' of the
early part of the last century, who was
as famous in his day as the Tanner, Celti
and Mealalti of our own. The Polish
nobleman, Bernhardus, tasted during the
whole forty days of Lent, only occasion
ally wetting the surface of his tongue
with a little sweet syrup and water. DIR.
Virchow showed a portrait of the
%'faster, -" borrowed from the Hartmann
collection. 1t was painted in 1719, and
represented the most wretched object,
made up of mere skin and bones, sitting
with crossed arms in a detected attitude.
DIR. Voss, the director of the Royal mu-
scum at Berlin, said that this portrait
formerly hung in the guests room of the
inn 'tAt the Sign of the Host, in Plon,
where it seems to nave been used by way
of caution to the guests, as if to impress
them with the appalling result of neglect
ing to eat a good dinner. An extract
from the church protocols of the parish
of Plon was also produced recording the
long HASTINGS and the death of Bern
hardus. Boston Globe.

1 was told that it was the hardest kind
of thing to get a portrait of Burns in
Scotland at all adequate to the wishes of
an admirer. At Edinburgh was able to
buy a photographed picture of Burns at
n reception at Lord Monboddo's house.
Mr.. Richardson has had engraved a re-
cent portrait Of Burns, or rather a re-
Gently found portrait. He sent it over to
France to be etched at n cost of $50, and
a copy of this he gave me. He says that
Burns portrait was painted by an artist
for some of Burns admirers, rather
against the artists will. He expanded
Burns brows. When the engraver came
to put this portrait into lines he, knowing
Burns, made some changes, and this was
the portrait which was published in
Burns. first Edinburgh edition.
Later on, when Burns body was dis
entombed to be changed from one vault
to another, they measured his skull and
found that it was narrower than the first
portrait made it. So another portrait was
engraved, compounded with these meas
urements and the first portrait. They
were eked out by a miniature painted by
the daughter of the original artist, who
knew Burns also. The result is what Mr..
Richardson believes to be the best por-
trait of Burns, and it is one / nave never
seen in America.-'sGath' in Cincinnati

it is a little thing. But it may run into

The English mind, Zebehr said, could
hardly conceive. the condition of the
Nyam Nyam people. They had no God,
no prophet, and no law. One man wor-
SHIPPED a tree, another his chickens, some
fire, some water, some the buffalo, some
the serpent. They had no occupation but
hunting and fighting one with another,
and they were cannibals. Cannibalism
prevailed among them to such an extent
that when he first went down they ate
10 but human flesh. Men, women and
children were killed in the market, cut
up and sold as Europeans sell beef and
mutton. All prisoners of war were eaten,
and i'll behaved persons; also men who
grew too fat to be good for anything else
and persons who died a natural death.
A young Nyam Nyam, who was in at
tendance upon the pasha, explained, apro-
pos of this, that it is not the custom to
eat your relations. If your mother, for
instance, is supposed to be dying you ne
gotiate with some one of a neighboriDg
village to give a certain sum for her body.
If she RECEIVERS, the bargain falls through;
if she dies, the fact is notified immedi-
ately to the man who has bought her and
she is taken away to be decently eaten at
n distance.-Contemporary Review.

The life of a soldier was made up, in
the main, by eating and sleeping, and
marching and fighting; but the first was
eating-when he could. In the pursuit
of this species of happiness his skill and
ingenuity knew no limit. The old time
southern negro was proverbial as a thief
and noted for strict attention to business
and great fertility of resource in that
line, but the average southern soldier
could easily discount him at his ~favorite
pastime. Like the schoolboy, who robbed
a henroost at Christmas, he stole partly
for fun and partly for profit, but the
amino furandi, the curious intention"
as the lawyer rendered it, was lacking.
He reasoned about it as the negro did
who was caught stealing corn from his
masters crib: ''Massa niger, massa
corn" He was fighting for the people
who remained at home, and a contribu-
ton in kind, if not in money, was justly
his due; and so he collected his taxes
himself as occasion offered, and without
formality of a receipt.-Cor. Philadelphia
Times.

The latest vegetable fat to attract COM
mercial attention is an extract of the
myristica sebitera, a so called bean, but
really a species of nutmeg, which grows
wild in Guatemala, where the natives
gather it and obtain the oil from it for
soap and candles. The ''beans'' are in
abundant supply, growing in punches on
the bushes, and they can be had at the
small expense of paying Indians to gather
them. A consular representative of Qua
temala is of opinion that there is a great
future III store for the fat Of this vegeta-
bic, which, he thinks, would be a ''good
substitute" for lard or butter. Machinery
for crushing sesame seed, which is ex-
tensively cultivated in Guatemala, is now
being sen into that country - Chicago

The early Americans were representA-
tives Of the tone age in most casts, al
though a few possessed the knowlf dye of
metals. They were particularly clever
stone workers, and the samples of their
workmanship show them well versed in
the arts Of the potter. In clay molding
they were also skillful. The textile arts
were practiced, such as cotton and wool
spinning and weaving. Cotton was ex-
t~ensively raised in Mexico and Yucatan,
and two species of goats we're acclima-
tized to Peru for the sake of their wool.

Fish in the Sea of GaIilee.

The classification of the fishes found in
the sea of Galilee has led to the strange
discovery that these fishes do not belong
to the Mediterranean system, but are pc
culiar, and belong to the fish system of
the great inland lakes of Africa-Tan-
ganyika, Nyassa and the neighboring
waters. The inference is drawn that un-
told ages ago the Jordan valley was filled
by a lake which was Joined to the Red
sea, then a fresh water lake, which in
turn was in direct communication with
the great lake system of Central Africa.

1t is easy to understand that the people
of the United States, who spend more
money for their w education than any
other people in the world, have a greater
number of journals, compared with their
population, than any other country. In
the United States there is published one
paper to every ABB inhabitants.
The country in which the proportion of
newspapers to the population is next
greatest is also a country where the peo-
pie govern themselves, and pay great at
tention to education. This country is
Switzerland, and it has one journal to
every 5,073 people.
The next country in what may be
called newspaper rank is Denmark, which
has a small population and free schools.
There is n newspaper to every 0,022
